What a disgrace :banghead :banghead
Should be dropped immediately.

Totally agree.and he is coached by the worst coach ever in the modern game. ,Now wheres that Crunch Ball ::)
-
I will say up front I love the Tigers. But I don't like our captain, have have and never will. We didn't get the game here but they did show a few thngs after the Bomber v Swans game. And it was basically Johnson stuff ups. His is supposed to be our leader and if this is what the young fella have to follow no wonder why we are where we are. Live by the sword, die by the sword. And now Johnson should fall on his sword, or is the money too much to give up as this is what it look like he's playing for. For the betterment of the team he should give it up. They sack coaches through a season so why not sack our so called captain. He's not a leaders ar#ehole. I can't remember a captain that was as bad as him. But I'm sure I will be told. What is happening is we are keeping future kids away from wanting to support us and wanting to play for us. Like Tambling when he was aked where he wanted to go he told them he wanted to be taken by Essendon. So something has to be done and I think quick before the damage is irreversable. We need a future not a past.

I couldn't agree more. But I still think it a little harsh on Coburg. Why do they have to put up with a crappy player like that.

worst captain to ever play this game
-
did l miss anything or we still talking about the same things
l gather we didnot win again
-
Just give the number 17 to Simmo.
If we are to get anything positive out of the Johnson trade we need to take the burden of the captaincy of him. It doesn't fit his persona IMO.

Fellow Tigers and forumites I have mentioned this before.
Garbage captain. No grunt, no fight, no heart, no spine, no character, no personality, no skills, no idea.
You might also like to add to the above no desire, no passion, no grit, no quality,
In the last two minutes with scores tied he kicked it straight to a Brisbane player the second time to one on his own when a long bomb from 70 to the top of the square would have been more beneficial. His awareness is non existent as is his skill just kicks the ball to a target on the bounce never on the full to a target unless it is to the opposition. His leadership qualities are also non existent and for those who had a go last week and said he is playing under duress with a broken hand. Save your sympathy for an individual who deserves it. If you put your hand up to play when you are injured and you play like that then you should not play. Others play under duress and excell. I wonder if Terry drops him if he will take his medicine and play for Coburg or miss a few due to his injury. :chuck
THE WORST CAPTAIN CURRENTLY IN THE AFL.
THE WORST CAPTAIN IN RICHMOND HISTORY.
-
The press had Sugar in the best players and Champion Data had him ranked 6th with 112 points :whistle.
-
Champion data can be slightly misleading as players can get extra points for taking the ball inside/outside 50's . Kane did get a few kick ins from points tonight and did kick it himself outside 50. Look I am not being petty bringing him up over and over again but he really lacks an on field aura and it shows in the way he plays and the way he leads the side.
-
In all honesty I thought it was Johnson's best game for the year. Certainly compared to say the last 4 weeks. All in all you will find his disposal last night was good.
I agree the option with that last kick was to go tot he squarebut when you have 2 blokes leading out to the 40m area you'd think they'd contine to stream out - pity one of them when they saw the ball coming decide to come out of 4th gear and drop back into what appeared to be 2nd - but I guess that's Kane's or Terry fault too ::) :whistle
Anyway I also knew at the end of the game that Johnson would be the one coping the blame for last night.
As someone once said "the more things change the more they stay the same" ;)
Now before eeveryone starts telling me I am living in noody land and have no idea ;D I'd just ask people to have a look at 1/ the final quarter and the delivery butchers or even 2/ the delivery butchers for the entire game .... don't blame it on Johnson blame it all of 'em
Want me to name them :banghead
-
next you will tell us tivendale had a great game too because he got the pill a few times in the game. Greg was a joke, he continually buggered up by picking the wrong option or destroying his disposal

Errr no not in this thread because it was about Johnson
But in answer to your comment on Tivendale. I thought he was poor because the majority of his disposal didn't hit a target.
-
Captain Johnson threw up his hands in celebration as the siren sounded and was being criticised by talk-back listeners post-match after saying on radio he was at least happy with two premiership points.
loser.....

THATS ALL IT IS BOYS ...
RICHMOND ARE HEARTLESS (FULL STOP)
some aren't, but its a team game, so all of them are in it together !

I bet you'd find Kane Johnson would play better without having the captaincy weighing him down.

That reminds Kingsley wasn't all too flash ;) :lol

now im no kent fan, my username has some sarcasm in it. but in kents defence, even though he missed a shocker, he did have a hand in 3-4 goals and his field kicking has been a treat
-

I agree Julz. He's an introvert. I don't think he handles the pressure very well.
Like I said earlier we can keep with him and have a very average footballer or take the shackles off him and say gives us a few good years Kane. Stripping him of the captaincy might be the reality check he needs and in the end he might become a better contributor.

Leadership a key to success
08 June 2007 Herald-Sun
Trevor Grant
FROM as far back as when captains made the call on free kicks because umpires were still to be invented, football has always placed a high premium on the value of leadership.
It is no coincidence that clubs which have occupied the top end of the ladder in recent years, such as Sydney, Adelaide and West Coast, abound with leadership strength while the current doormats, such as Carlton, Richmond, and Melbourne, struggle to raise a quorum of genuine candidates for a leadership meeting.
Richmond thought so little of its nominated leader, Bruce Monteath, that he was named as an interchange player in the 1980 Grand Final team. He spent much of the game watching from the bench as his teammates won the flag.
The quest to find and develop young men who can lead is so intense that it has spawned a new industry. Professional motivators and leadership consultants are now as much a part of the furniture at clubs as the property steward. It's no longer enough to have one leader; clubs have co-captains, rotating captains and leadership groups of up to 10 players. Some have formal sub-groups under the main one.
Melbourne and Richmond both lost their first nine games this season, bringing sharply into focus the dearth of natural leaders.
Tigers' football director Greg Miller has identified a leadership black hole, saying current captain Kane Johnson, who got the job in 2005 after only two seasons at the club, carries a heavy load.
"I don't think it's so much an issue with leadership quality, more with depth," he said recently, nominating three imports - Troy Simmonds, Nathan Brown and Johnson - as the club's best leaders.
Richmond used a leadership consultancy group to help choose its captain.
"We put a lot of time into getting the right captain," coach Terry Wallace said. "There were tests like 30 flash cards each with a different aspect of leadership on them. The players had to prioritise them in the order they felt reflected the most important aspects of leadership.
"People said it was a lot of crap. But it gave us a good guide as we started to work out our priorities as a club. We weren't after a future leader at the time. We needed a doer straight away and Kane was the standout once we went through the process."
Hawthorn and Geelong have looked beyond the boundary as much as inside it in their captaincy choices, with Richie Vandenberg and Tom Harley some distance from being among their club's most talented players.
"I don't see any problem with that. It's what they bring in so many other areas that's important," said Adelaide premiership captain Mark Bickley. "It might be their voice, or the way they demand excellence from their players on the field.
"They don't have to get 25 touches every week to be valuable players. In lots of ways that's what I brought to the table."
Hird ... has always been one of his team's great players. But he agrees that leading by example means much more than getting three votes each week.
"I think as a captain your principles and morals and what you stand for off the ground are as important as what you do on the ground," he said.

No mention of Richo, Joel or any of the next gen like Newy. Simmo. Browny and Sugar are all in their late 20s.

lol
This is where our lack of 23-26 year olds hurts us as well. It would be time now to find a future leader but our options are limited within this group and our young guys are still finding their feet.
It's what they bring in so many other areas that's important," said Adelaide premiership captain Mark Bickley. "It might be their voice, or the way they demand excellence from their players on the field.
"They don't have to get 25 touches every week to be valuable players. In lots of ways that's what I brought to the table."
Bickley is right but there's not as much pressure as captain to win games of your own boot when you are surrounded by an experienced team filled with stars.

I think Kane is a bit of a head job :wallywink
First he kicks the wrong way
Next week he points in the direction we're going but we're actually kicking the other way
The only player on the field last week ecstatic over a draw ::)
Announcing the retirement of players when not supposed to
If it's of any condolensce to Kane, I've probably done just as silly things - but I'm not captain of the RFC.
Retire as captain Kane and go back and spend the last years of your footy career just playing good footy. Don't think he's our worst player, but he's not captain material IMO.

Waits for a comment from Ox :shh

Apparently he did that to take the mickey out of himself for kicking the wrong way the previous week.
